Overview

Brief Summary

This study will define the safety and efficacy of Everolimus (RAD001) administered daily in patients with glioblastoma multiforme (GBM)

Detailed Description

This was a multicenter, open label, randomized study of RAD001 dosed daily in patients with recurrent GBM. The study was conducted with 2 parallel groups of patients. Group 1 was designed to study the biological effects of RAD001 in patients scheduled to undergo salvage surgical resection, and Group 2 was to enroll patients who were not scheduled for surgery. Patients in Group 1 were randomly assigned to one of three pre-surgery treatment groups (0, 5 or 10 mg/day RAD001 for 7 days). All patients in Group 2 were to receive a fixed daily dose of 10 mg/day oral RAD001.

Arms & Interventions

No Surgery (Everolimus 10 mg)

Participants with recurrent Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM) not scheduled to undergo salvage surgical resection, received a daily oral dose of 10 mg Everolimus (RAD001) until evidence of disease progression or toxicity.

Intervention: Everolimus

Everolimus 10 mg + Surgery

Participants scheduled to undergo salvage surgical resection received a daily oral dose of 10 mg Everolimus for 7 days prior to surgery, then after recovery from surgery received a 10 mg daily oral dose of Everolimus until evidence of disease progression or toxicity.

Intervention: Everolimus

Everolimus 10 mg + Surgery

Participants scheduled to undergo salvage surgical resection received a daily oral dose of 10 mg Everolimus for 7 days prior to surgery, then after recovery from surgery received a 10 mg daily oral dose of Everolimus until evidence of disease progression or toxicity.

Intervention: Surgery

Everolimus 5 mg + Surgery

Participants scheduled to undergo salvage surgical resection received a daily oral dose of 5 mg Everolimus for 7 days prior to surgery, then after recovery from surgery received a 10 mg daily oral dose of Everolimus until evidence of disease progression or toxicity.

Intervention: Everolimus

Everolimus 5 mg + Surgery

Participants scheduled to undergo salvage surgical resection received a daily oral dose of 5 mg Everolimus for 7 days prior to surgery, then after recovery from surgery received a 10 mg daily oral dose of Everolimus until evidence of disease progression or toxicity.

Intervention: Surgery

Everolimus 0 mg + Surgery

Participants scheduled to undergo salvage surgical resection received no treatment with Everolimus prior to surgery, then after recovery from surgery received a 10 mg daily oral dose of Everolimus until evidence of disease progression or toxicity.

Intervention: Everolimus

Everolimus 0 mg + Surgery

Participants scheduled to undergo salvage surgical resection received no treatment with Everolimus prior to surgery, then after recovery from surgery received a 10 mg daily oral dose of Everolimus until evidence of disease progression or toxicity.

Intervention: Surgery

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Surgery Group: Percentage Change From the Baseline in S6 Kinase Levels

Time Frame: Baseline and Day 7-9 (during salvage surgery)

In the Surgery Group, the primary efficacy assessment was inhibition of Mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) as defined as ≥75% S6 phosphorylation. The occurrence of S6 phosphorylation was determined by phosphor-S6 immunohistochemical staining. Tumor cells from the initial surgical resection and from the salvage resection were used for assessments.

No Surgery Group: Best Overall Tumor Response

Time Frame: First day of treatment to study discontinuation (up to 60 weeks)

The best overall tumor response is reported for participants with 1 previous relapse and participants with ≥2 previous relapses according to the following categories: Complete Response, Partial Response, Stable Disease and Progressive Disease. Gadolinium chelate-enhanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) was used for tumor analysis. The objective assessment of tumor response was evaluated at each site by the designated pathologist based on the Neuro-Oncology criteria for Tumor Response for Central Nervous System (CNS) tumors.

Secondary Outcomes

  • Surgery Group: Blood and Brain Tissue Levels of Everolimus (RAD001)(Baseline and Day 7-9 (Blood samples were collected one day prior to surgery and tissue samples were collected during surgery.))
  • Surgery Group: Progression-free Survival(After surgery (within 96 hours), Weeks 4 and 8 and then every 8 weeks after restarting treatment until study discontinuation (Up to 28 weeks))
  • Surgery Group: Biomarkers Phosphatase and Tensin Homolog (PTEN) and Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR)(After surgery, week 4, week 8 and every 8 weeks thereafter)
  • No Surgery Group: Progression Free Survival(First day of treatment to study discontinuation (up to 60 weeks))
  • Surgery Group: Number of Participants With Adverse Events(First day of treatment to study discontinuation (Up to 28 weeks))
